The lead paragraph content type allows you to add some lead text to your page up to a maximum of 1,000 characters. Adding a lead paragraph summary to the top of your page is recommended as it will help visitors to quickly understand the purpose of the page and decide if it is useful, without having to scan or read all of it.
Imperial College London is one of the world’s top ten universities, internationally renowned for the quality of its teaching and research. Across 23 acres in West London, the White City Campus is home to researchers working alongside some of the most innovative businesses operating today.
In White City north, you will find multidisciplinary research facilities, laboratories, innovation spaces for businesses of all sizes, accommodation for postgraduate students and our flagship residential tower.
In White City south, you will find Scale Space: over 18,000 square metres tailored to high-growth businesses and scale-ups. The Invention Rooms are also here, where local families and school children can come to learn, be inspired, and create.
Together, we are transforming White City into a global beacon for innovation and a leading destination for life sciences, tech, and creative businesses.

Bold and italicised text, and subscript or superscript
Adding bold or italics is much the same as in Microsoft Word.
Adding subscript requires the subscript button, and would look something like this: H2O
Adding superscript requires the superscript button, and would look something like this: 450 cm3
External links
Linking to external websites (any site not within the Imperial T4 system) requires the hyperlink button. Remember to tell it to open in a new window, and not to use 'click here' as a label for the link - rather indicate with a phrase or short sentence where the link will take the user and make that the link.
Bad example: for further info click here.
Good example: for further information please see the King's College London website.
Internal links
Internal links are any links that happen between two Imperial T4 pages. The T4 system refers to them as section links, and they require the section link button.
For instance, linking to the Imperial College London Human Resources page would be an internal link.
A link to a media library document looks like this - Test document number 2 (pdf)
Our Facilities
The Faculty seeks to provide international leadership in engineering research and education and is widely recognised as a world leading engineering school. Our departments consistently excel in prominent league table rankings, while the College as a whole enjoys similar success.
Our Faculty is unique in the UK in supporting world class education and fundamental research across the full range of engineering disciplines.
All ten of our academic departments are located on a single campus in South Kensington, giving a concentration of talent that creates a stimulating and vibrant research culture, which promotes multidisciplinary collaborations and attracts internationally leading researchers and scholars.
The Faculty of Medicine is at the forefront of taking biomedical discoveries and translating them into the clinic - to the benefit of local patients and worldwide populations.
Our students benefit from our close connections with healthcare partners and multidisciplinary collaborations with the College's Faculties of Engineering, Natural Sciences and the Imperial College Business School. The combination of outstanding science, excellent staff and innovative teaching methods results in a truly world-class study experience.
Together with our friends and colleagues in Engineering, Medicine and the Business School, the Faculty of Natural Sciences strives to produce the very best science and deploy it for the wider benefit of society. We are committed to both fundamental science and applications orientated research, seeing these as complementary parts of a common endeavour. We are very proud of our extensive collaborations with other academics and our colleagues in industry, here in the UK and across the globe.
Our amazing community of scholars, who are among the very brightest and best in the world, enables us to face the greatest scientific challenges of our time. Whether established professor, rising new academic or student, our diverse community comes together to find the best solutions.
Frequently asked questions
We advise using public transport to travel to campus, as parking in the area is extremely limited. There is no public parking on campus and parking around the campus is very expensive due to its central London location.
The nearest Underground station is South Kensington, on the District, Circle and Piccadilly lines. From South Kensington Station, the campus is only a five minute walk. Either follow the subway signposted to the museums or walk north up Exhibition Road. The College is next to the Science Museum.
For undergraduate programmes, you can choose up to five courses to apply to through UCAS. If you are applying for Medicine, four of these can be medical programmes and your fifth choice must be in a different area (for example Biomedicine). You can use all your choices to apply to different programmes at Imperial if you so wish. We would advise you carefully read the entry requirements on the departmental webpages before submitting your choices through UCAS, as, once you have submitted your application, these cannot be changed.
For postgraduate programmes you can apply for up to two programmes per admissions cycle. Your applications will be considered sequentially so it is important to list your preferred programme as your first choice and your reserve programme as your second choice. Your second choice application will only be considered if you are unsuccessful at gaining a place on your first choice programme. Please note you can only submit one application form and you are able to list both your choices through there.
